Style Dispatch 025 – Color Supernova

This is an especially uncharacteristic Style Dispatch, inspired by the blue rainbow hair I had back in October – which is the chief reason I bought this incredible dress. I just couldn’t resist the Rorschach snakeskin pattern, the kaleidoscopic color combination, and the sheer back panel. And if one is going to wear color, one might as well wear color! Amelia was in town from the UK and we were long-overdue for a photo expedition.

We set out with photographer Cris Dobbins and assistant extraordinaire, Yume, to commemorate the visit and capture some shots that were unmistakably LA. Downtown was the obvious choice, though whether my shoes were the obvious choice for long walks and climbing bridges remains undecided. Scroll for the rest of the images and outfit breakdowns!

Any time I try to wear anything other than black, various shades of gray, or olive drab, I feel awkward. I always feel rather confident when I venture out in above said colors… however, I feel like any other color (especially bright) calls negative attention to me.

So much color! That dress is cool thou, I think I would have been tempted even though I’d have nothing to wear it with. I ‘ve never been able to get beyond 1 really bright color at a time, which tends to mean that the only time I wear much other than black and grey is when my hair is black. I have tried to get over it from time to time but always end up with a bag full of non-black clothes for Goodwill a year later :p

Also – were you by chance at Disko.Nekro at the Dragonfly this past weekend?
